Abstract

See full text

A vacuuming refuse container assembly includes a refuse container for receiving refuse for disposal. A lid is removably positioned on the refuse container and the lid has a refuse opening extending therethrough to receive the refuse. A control circuit is coupled to the refuse container and a vacuum unit is positioned within the refuse container. The vacuum unit is electrically coupled to the control circuit and the vacuum unit is in fluid communication with the refuse opening in the lid. The vacuum unit urges air inwardly through the refuse opening when the vacuum unit is turned on. Thus, refuse placed in the refuse opening is drawn downwardly into the refuse container. A motion sensor is coupled to the refuse container. The vacuum unit is turned on when the motion sensor senses motion of the refuse being placed in the refuse opening.
